Rudy Grows a Beard

Pat Robertson, noted lunatic, gave Rudy an endorsement and some needed cover with god-drunk evangelicals today. The serial adulterer and lover of homosexuals is said to be "happy." Meanwhile NYC waits for an apology from Pat Robertson, noted lunatic, for saying that 9/11 was God's way of getting even with "pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, lesbians, the American Civil Liberties Union and the People For the American Way."

MORE BAD NEWS

While researching this story I discovered that Pat Robertson, noted lunatic, believes 2007 will be a very bad year for America. Via Wikipedia I see that "[o]n January 2, 2007 during the 700 Club show, Robertson said that God spoke to him and told him that "mass killings" were to come during 2007, due to a terrorist attack on the United States. He added "The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."

[CWY and the neocons probably think we should torture God until the plot's secret details come spilling out of Him; unfortunately, that episode at the Red Sea makes us doubt the efficacy of waterboarding the Lord of Hosts. ]

If it relates to Jews, Judaism, holidays, Midrash,Torah, halacha or anything similar, I probably have a post on it. And if I have a post on it, I probably have a good comment thread with great reader-provided information, too.

Try a search and see for yourself. If you can't find what you're looking for ask me.
